Gro’s AI writing assistant can help you craft engaging LinkedIn comments and personalized connection requests that feel human, thoughtful, and relevant — all in just a few clicks.
💬 Generating Engaging Comments with AI
When using AI to write a comment on a post, your prompt should give clear guidance. Here’s an example of a strong prompt:
“I want to acknowledge their insights and add value by sharing a relevant experience. Focus on being supportive and constructive while maintaining a professional tone.”
You can also customize:
Tone (e.g., agreeable, neutral, constructive)
Length (e.g., short, medium, long)
🎯 Tips for Better Comment Prompts:
Be clear about your tone – professional, friendly, thoughtful, etc.
Define your intent – show appreciation, add perspective, ask a question
Set a length limit – short comments perform better and feel more natural
Avoid vague prompts – specific guidance = better results
🤝 Crafting Personalized Connection Requests with AI
You can also use AI to send customized, meaningful connection requests. Here's how:
1. Configure the settings first
Choose your preferred tone, formality, and approach, etc.
(Optional) Enable "Engage with Recent Activity" – Gro will analyze the recipient’s recent LinkedIn posts to create a more relevant message.
2. Guide the AI with a clear prompt
Once your settings are in place, provide context to help AI tailor the message. For example:
“Write a short, friendly LinkedIn connection request message for a startup founder connecting with another founder. Tone: casual and authentic. Under 200 characters. Mention something specific from their background.”
✏️ Prompt Writing Tips for Connection Requests
🔹 1. Be clear about who you are and who you're messaging
Mention your role and who you're reaching out to. This helps AI generate a message that feels tailored and relevant.
🔹 2. Set the tone
Clarify the tone you want — e.g.:
“Casual and authentic” for peer-to-peer
“Warm and professional” for senior executives
“Polite and curious” for learning-focused outreach
🔹 3. Provide a purpose
Tell AI why you’re connecting (e.g., to network, explore a partnership, ask for insight). This gives your message weight and authenticity.
🔹 4. Include a personal hook
Ask the AI to reference something specific from their profile:
A recent post they made
Their role at a company
A shared interest or mutual connection
🔹 5. Set a character limit
To stay within LinkedIn’s limit, mention that the message should be under 200 characters.
🔹 6. Avoid generic phrases
Guide the AI to skip clichés like “I’d love to add you to my network”. Instead, aim for something human, thoughtful, and specific.
